MUMBAI (Metro Rail News): MMRDA (Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority) has made a decision on the procurement of signalling equipment with Platform Screen Doors (PSD) for the Lokhandwala to Vikhroli Metro 6 corridor as the project enters a critical phase following the resolution of the depot issue. The state has granted permission to construct the facility at Kanjurmarg.

About 65 per cent of the work on the corridor has been completed. This line that spans 16 km would traverse along the Jogeshwari-Vikhroli link road connecting Vikhroli to Lokhandwala by crisscrossing over railway tracks.

The entire Metro Line-6 is expected to cost around Rs 6,700 crore, and the goal is to finish its development within the next few years.

The development of the 16 km corridor is estimated to take 18 months to finish and MMRDA is expected to invite bids for the depot construction to commence the work.

The upcoming corridor will also feature a Continuous Automatic Train Control System that uses a ‘Communication-based Train Control System‘. This system includes sub-systems such as Automatic Train Protection, Automatic Train Supervision and  Automatic Train Operation, which rely on radio communication between the track and the train.

The new link will be connected to four other metro routes, which includes the currently operating Mumbai Metro Lines 2A and 7. Furthermore, it will also interconnect with the Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ Metro Line 3, which is still in progress and completely underground, and Line 4, which links Wadala to Kasardavali.
